Yu Ziqing crushed a jade slip and sent a message to Xin No. 10. He wanted to ask him something.

After waiting for more than a day, the new No. 10 quietly appeared.

"I have something to ask you, a little more detailed."

"Is it something important?"

"Very important.

I would like to ask how people are screened over there, and are they being screened recently?"

"New people will appear from time to time, there is no fixed time, and there are still some who are not qualified to go out.

But these days, there are indeed new people coming.

There are also a lot of new people dying, and new people will disappear from time to time.

Moreover, the losses of those who went on the mission were considerable, so more manpower had to be added.

New tasks also require more manpower, and the current manpower is definitely not enough."

"I see."

No matter how much he thought or speculated, he still had to confirm it at Xin No. 10 before Yu Ziqing could feel relieved.

And he can probably determine whether he will contribute some effort next.

Lao Song is going to cause trouble, but this matter is not only related to Lao Song.

The relationship between them, because of the relationship between Lao Song and his two children, is actually very close.

There is no reason for Yu Ziqing to just eat melon and watch the show without exerting any effort.

At least you have to find an opportunity to see if you can add some insurance at a critical moment.

After thinking about it, Yu Ziqing quietly headed to the southern border of Dali.

Judging from the information given by Lao Song, 80% of it is correct.

Prince Daqian's willingness to bite the bullet and plead for mercy proves that this person is still quite important.

The Crown Princess's mother-in-law is also very powerful, and those who are not powerful will not do such things.

This kind of person will definitely not give up.

Moreover, there is a high possibility that Baishuidan deliberately influenced and set up the situation.

Lao Song is also cautious enough. He doesn't want to settle old scores, but just wants to make an accidental discovery and be forced to take action.

Yu Ziqing wanted to go and see it in person.

All the way to the southern border of Dali.

To the west of the battlefield is the Kuihou Kingdom, and to the east is another small country.

Between the two small countries, there is a battlefield stretching six to seven thousand miles wide. This is also the widest area directly bordering Dali and Daqian.

In fact, the eastern coastal area is logically larger, but the two dynasties have a tacit understanding not to fight there.

It's especially easy to get the Sea Tribe involved when you go there, and it could turn into a three-party melee.

The Sea Clan does not have the cohesion of the divine dynasty, and the strong men of the Sea Clan cannot control those below them very well, and their concepts are also different, so it is best not to gamble on many things.

In the past few years, Dali and Daqian have been at war. There has been one big battle every year and several small battles every month. The two sides fought back and forth.

It was a great pleasure to eat melons and watch the drama during the big earthquake. It was also a pleasure to take advantage of the opportunity to farm and accumulate strength.

As for Lihuoyuan and Langyayuan, they have been going back and forth over the years. Overall, Langyayuan has suffered heavy losses.

There are quite a lot of people who have been poached and cut off by the Lihuoyuan, ranging from ascetics to big bosses who have achieved great achievements in certain fields.

Yu Ziqing borrowed a road from Kuihou State and could already feel the impact of the war even before he left the border.

In the eastern part of Kuihou Kingdom, near the border, there are far fewer people and many fields are abandoned.

Yu Ziqing rubbed his face, and it changed into a different look. It was not as ugly as before, with crooked lips and eyes.

But it's not much better. It's like being in a fire, being seriously injured, not having enough money to take good elixirs, and not recovering well.

Wearing ordinary clothes, Yu Ziqing restrained all his aura, put all his energy and blood into his acupoints, and slowly entered the city closest to the border.

There are not many people coming and going inside, but there is a sense of doomsday carnival in the depression.

There are no guards at the city gate to collect money, so it must be a big trouble, otherwise, given the temperament of the Lord Kuihou, he doesn't care about things, and if there is no money, he will really kill him.

After a quick glance, Yu Ziqing saw at least a dozen guys who were definitely deserters.

I just don’t know if it’s from Dali or Dagan, no one here will ask them.

When the two gods clashed, they both made a tacit understanding not to involve the two small countries next to them. No matter how they fought, they would not enter the territory of the two small countries.

Once you start something like this, you can never end it.

The most popular places in the city are still brothels, brothels of various grades, and shops selling talismans, elixirs, and magic weapons.

And it seems that the traffic volume of the latter is higher than that of the former.

In addition, a large number of shops have closed, and the number of ordinary residents has significantly decreased.

This is a situation where the battlefield has not directly affected this place. If we were directly involved, it would only be worse.

Yu Ziqing originally thought that there would be no problem if he came here, so he came to Kuihou Kingdom first. But now it seems that he has overthought it.

When we walked out of Kuihou Kingdom, before we saw anyone, we noticed the murderous atmosphere of the army flowing in the air.

The six cities that were thrown away before Da Qian were all close to Kuihou Kingdom, like a sharp thorn inserted straight down from north to south.

The second prince has now counterattacked and recaptured five cities, and the sixth one is probably coming soon.

Da Li won't stick to it, it doesn't make much sense.

Yu Ziqing came all the way to the vicinity of the sixth city, opened Yin Shen's eyes, took a look from a distance, and was completely sure.

The Bingsha Qi seems to cover a large area, but in fact it is thick on the outside and thin on the inside. There may not be many people left. Da Li is already preparing to retreat, and may not even want to fight.

The gate of the city is open, and there are many people coming in and out. More people come in and less people come out.

This abnormal sign is also very revealing.

Yu Ziqing mingled in the crowd, found a few people with the aura of blood and soldiers, and followed them.

Several people just glanced at him, and when they saw the face that looked like it had been burned by fire or suffered heavy damage from a secret spell, they didn't say anything, didn't ask anything, and just let him follow.

Sneaking in was extremely smooth, and the people guarding the city only glanced at him and didn't even question him.

After Yu Ziqing entered the city, he randomly found a small house with no one to live in. Within a few days, he heard loud shouts of murder outside.

The soldiers left behind in Dali only resisted slightly, then retreated from the north gate and gave up the city directly.

The next day, Da Qian continued to take over the city, and on the third day, people came to check door to door.

Visitors saw Yu Ziqing's severely injured face that was beyond recognition, and he walked with a limp. When he was being interrogated, his eyes were numb and he looked like he was waiting for death.

The visitor entered the room to search and found only the cold stove and the hairy porridge in the pot. The rice in the rice vat could not even cover the bottom.

They were so poor that they had nothing of value, so they didn't ask any more questions.

They have seen too many people like this recently, and they are also numb.

In the chaos of war, only blood will appear particularly vivid.

Yu Ziqing sighed secretly. When he was far away, no matter how much he heard, he still couldn't get the real experience of going there in person.

After waiting for a few more days, and after the city beneath our feet initially stabilized, we finally heard the news.

Someone was shouting outside that at noon tomorrow, the general who had fled without a fight and abandoned the city would be killed in public. Everyone should go and watch the beheading if they were fine.

Watching beheadings is a rare entertainment activity for these border residents.

The next day, Yu Ziqing didn't dare to come too early. When he arrived, the place was already packed with people. At first glance, it looked like they were going to a market.

As far as I could see, most people didn't seem to care about being beheaded and were busy going to the market.

Yu Ziqing was stunned for a moment.

While going to the market, they were busy setting up the execution platform. It was almost noon, and the second prince appeared surrounded by people. After Lao Song also appeared, the crowd calmed down a little.

Yu Ziqing felt that these people might just take advantage of this time to rest for a while, and then continue to rush to the big market when they are done.

On the execution platform, kneeling was a man who was tied up. But on the surface, he did not appear to be injured or tortured, and his hair seemed to have been styled again.

He just knelt there numbly with no expression on his face, as if he was just waiting to be killed by his neck.

It took a long and smelly sentence to pronounce the verdict, list the charges, and recite a stick of incense, and the time here is almost up.

The men in the army came forward to verify his identity. If it were normal military law, this would be enough.

The second prince looked at Song Chengyue who was watching the show and said.

"Master Song, it has always been the Jin Yiwei who have done the verification. This traitor is not just a matter of military law. I have to thank you, Master Song."

Song Chengyue frowned slightly, then immediately looked at the Jin Yiwei who was following him, took out a magic weapon and handed it to him.

"Go ahead."

Song Chengyue seemed a little unhappy, but he knew very well in his heart.

As long as he is present, if the second prince wants to kill the prince, in order not to be singled out, he must be allowed to interfere.

If he didn't want to intervene, the second prince would definitely ask him to intervene in person.

Originally, the Jin Yiwei here may be assigned three tasks to verify the soul.

But Song Chengyue didn't bring any of them when he came today, only one of his confidants.

Just to show that this matter has nothing to do with me, I am just a spectator. If it were not to protect the second prince, I would not come at all.

The magic weapon that can verify the soul is this top-notch high-end item that he carries with him. This is the only one in the entire Jinyiwei Yamen, and it is a top-notch magic weapon from the divine dynasty.
